Manufacturing
Effectiveness
A
manufacturing firm's production strategy must be aligned with
its broader business strategy. Identifying which competitive position
a firm should occupy is crucial to its market positioning and
financial success.
Many
firms seek to be low-cost, bulk providers of mass-produced goods.
Others choose to produce smaller batches of more specialized products.
Still others elect to remain highly flexible in their design and
production specifications, quickly reacting to shifts in customer
requirements.
Linking Manufacturing Capabilities to
Corporate Strategy
iServiceX
helps you design and operate manufacturing facilities from a business
perspective. Using tools such as: lean manufacturing indicators,
Six-Sigma management implementation, business process-flow analysis
and best-practices comparisons, we help identify a firm's competitive
position with respect to its manufacturing capabilities and align
